The
CFB Borden Military Museum houses a large collection of weapons,
uniforms, military vehicles, aircraft and peacetime mementos, heritage
buildings and a memorial park. Half of all Canadian soldiers who served
in two World wars were trained at Camp Borden, which is also the birth
site of the Royal Canadian Air Force. The history of the Canadian Armed
Forces is on display and open to the public. Located on an active
military base just outside on Angus, Ontario, Canadian Forces Base
Borden was named for the late Prime Minister Borden who founded the base
in response to Canada's participation in World War One.
